Follow along on my journey to 93 mph (and hopefully beyond). My plan is to post weekly updates. I do not throw a bullpen until December, and won’t use radar gun ratings until late December or early January

No recent video. I have my lower arm slot due to a partial UCL tear I suffered in August 2014. My trainer and I determined that I, among other things, was not throwing from my “natural” arm slot, yanking my head to the side, and putting extra stress on my arm.

Have you guys heard of The Rope Trainer? This is a great pitching training aid that can be used anywhere. I’m sure you guys have heard of the towel drill. Kind of the same thing, but this gives you more resistance and you actually get to hold onto a baseball while doing it. You can check it out here https://go.provenbaseball.com/ropetrainer

This will help increase your pitching speed & help reduce injury. I have used it along with my brother and we both love the results we are getting from it!

This past week was one of my best so far. I went up in two of my main lift categories, and we began our long toss program as we continue to aim for December 1 bullpens.
Deadlift- 445 lbs x1 rep
Front squat- 225 lbs 4 sets x4 reps
DB bench press- 80 lbs x4 reps

This week, I will be testing my max deadlift on Thursday, and I am aiming for at least 455. Excited to get back on the mound in a short few weeks

This past week I tested my max deadlift and surpassed my goals.
Current main lift maxes:
Deadlift: 475 lbs x1 rep
Front squat: 225 4 sets x2 reps (1 day after max deadlift)
DB bench press: 80 lbs x4 reps
We are now 2 weeks away from getting back on the mound, and between that and the semester coming to a close, time seems to be moving at a snail’s pace.
